About Gudrun

Born and raised in beutiful Iceland with strong ties to the country. Mother of three and large extended family. We have lived in the UK sine 2006 but spend all our summers in our house in Iceland or travelling around Iceland, hiking, fishing, horse riding, golfing and all we enjoy the most at this magical place in the North Atlantic.

Gudrun purchased this House in 2009

Why Gudrun chose Southern Region

We wanted to have a home in Iceland where we could spend time with our children but have space to entertain family and friends. The location is in a beautiful rural setting but still within reasonable reach from Reykjavik, services, friends etc. This part of Iceland is also known as one of the best weather location ... although not many people go to Iceland for the weather ... which is thankfully compensated by the extra ordinary natural beauty of the island.

What makes this House unique

The view from the living room and off the veranda are breathtaking in all seasons. Turning off all the lights in the winter will cancel out any light pollution and the northern lights can be spectacular.

The location is optimal for Golden Circle sightseeing. The property is clean, comfortable, modern and a good size. Owners are friendly and responsive. Close to a market. Walking, hiking from front door.

Our entire experience working with Guðrún and staying in the home was pleasant and wonderful. The homeowners were very accommodating and the home was well-appointed with everything we could have needed. They offered very helpful tips on touring the area and were always responsive when we had questions. The location offers privacy and gorgeous views of the surrounding landscape. The beds were comfortable and there was more than enough space for our group of 10. We enjoyed the hot tub.

Our family trip was special with all the room. We had our family of 5 and parents (who enjoyed the guest house) and did not feel cramped. Amenities were all there, and the photos were an accurate representation of the property. Thanks again we will be back for sure !

Traveled to Iceland for the first time with 9 adults (3 couples and 3 college age boys). This house was truly the perfect place and fit to base our visit. From our first contact via email with the owners until our return home, they were outstanding to work with. They truly wanted to make sure we were happy and our visit to their homeland was a positive experience. The house is located in the perfect place to experience everything Iceland.

Thank you Gudmundur, Gudrun, and Hulda for making sure we enjoyed our visit. Your house and country are amazing!

We were two families reuniting for the New Year holiday and chose this house for its location and amenities, which did not disappoint. Cannot say enough nice things about the owners who were responsive and very accommodating. Our trip surpassed our expectations — the highlight was getting to see the Northern Lights on New Years’ Eve!

We stayed for 5 nights as a party of 7 adults & there was more than enough space for us all. The house was well equipped & had everything we needed. It was a great base for exploring the Golden Circle & beyond. Would highly recommend this place, the owners were very helpful and easy to deal with.

Location

Southern Region, Iceland

Within the scenic 'golden circle' just a few minutes from Lake Thingvellir, 30 minutes to Gullfoss and Geysir. Excellent location for the South of Iceland.
